Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca has come out to say that he hopes to bring in more signings before the summer transfer window closes at the end of the month.
He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the club already knows he wants more players brought in before the end of the transfer window, but he would not speak about players under contracts at other clubs before they actually sign.
Enzo added that he is also not worrying his head about possible departures because he is focused on the game vs Manchester City.
His words, “They are not our players so it is not correct, I think, to talk about a Napoli player or – who is the other one? – an Atlético Madrid player. In this moment, the club knows exactly what I think in terms of what we need in case we do something and hopefully before we finish the transfer window, we can bring in some players.”
On departures, “I just finished the session now and I am already thinking about tomorrow’s session. It is the only thing I like to do, I like to control, If you start thinking about 43 players, ‘manager [has] no time,’ I think it is not worth it. The [sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart] are there trying to find solutions for these kinds of players. I am not the guy in charge of finding solution for these players otherwise they have to pay me double.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
